At Dairy Queen you can walk in for a full meal or just something sweet, and the DQ menu covers both. The menu spans burgers, chicken baskets, sandwiches, Blizzard® Treats, sundaes, drinks, cakes and other frozen treats, anchored by signature Stackburgers, chicken strip baskets with a choice of sauces, classic cheeseburgers, soft-serve desserts, shakes, malts and beverages. Quick answer: DQ's menu divides into meal deals (including a $7 Meal Deal at participating locations), chicken strip baskets in four- and six-piece sizes, Signature Stackburgers in single, double and triple builds, Blizzard Treats in Mini through Large, sundaes (the Small Sundae features in a 2 for $5 Mix & Match), drinks, cakes and kids options. One important caveat: Dairy Queen locations are independently operated, so most individual prices are location-dependent and the official site directs you to select a local store rather than showing one universal price. This guide concentrates on the items, variations and descriptions, with verified prices wherever the official Dairy Queen website currently publishes them. Because locations are independently operated, availability and pricing can differ by restaurant — and the official website itself notes that not every listed product is available at every location.
How the Menu Is Organised
Broadly, the menu splits into food, chicken baskets, burgers and sandwiches, treats, beverages, kids options, cakes and limited-time selections. The sections below highlight current items found on the official Dairy Queen website.
Meal Deals and Combos
When you want a complete meal, DQ periodically bundles one together. A current example listed by Dairy Queen is the $7 Meal Deal, although promotions can be limited by time and participating location.
| DQ Menu Item | What's Included | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Piece Chicken Strip Meal Deal | Three chicken strips, fries, 21 oz. drink, dipping sauce and sundae | $7 |
| Original Cheeseburger Meal Deal | Original cheeseburger, fries, 21 oz. drink and small sundae | $7 |
The 3-Piece Chicken Strip Meal Deal brings three seasoned all-white-meat chicken strips with fries, a 21 oz. drink, dipping sauce and a sundae — and when the offer is available, you can upgrade the sundae to a small Blizzard Treat for an additional $2.
The Original Cheeseburger Meal Deal pairs a seasoned beef patty with sharp American cheese, pickles, ketchup and mustard on a toasted bun, alongside fries, a 21 oz. drink and a small sundae.
Dipping Sauces With the Meal Deal
The chicken meal deal offers several dipping choices, including Hidden Valley Ranch, country gravy, BBQ, honey mustard, buffalo, zesty queso and ketchup.
Meal promotions can change, so check with your local DQ before ordering.

Chicken Baskets
Chicken baskets are an important part of the food menu. The standard Chicken Strip Basket comes in four-piece and six-piece versions, and the official menu describes it as all-white-meat chicken strips served with fries, Texas toast and a choice of dipping sauce.

The Classic Chicken Strip Basket
The original basket comes in four- and six-piece versions with fries, Texas toast and a dipping sauce. Among the sauce choices DQ lists ranch, country gravy, BBQ, honey mustard, buffalo, zesty queso and ketchup.

FlameThrower Chicken Strip Basket
The FlameThrower is the spicier chicken option on the menu, again in four- and six-piece basket variations.
Burgers and Sandwiches
DQ's burger selection is built on its Signature Stackburgers™, with several variations and different patty configurations. The official menu currently labels the section Burgers and Sandwiches.

Original Cheeseburger
At its core sits a real beef patty, seasoned and topped with sharp American cheese, pickles, ketchup and mustard, all served in a bun that is toasted until soft — the identical build used in the current Original Cheeseburger Meal Deal.
Cheese Deluxe Stackburger
Another option in the burger range, the Cheese Deluxe lets you select between double and triple versions.
Blizzard Treats
Blizzard Treats are one of the most recognisable sections of the menu, blending DQ's soft serve with ingredients such as candy pieces, cheesecake, cookies, chocolate and other toppings. Many flavours come in multiple sizes, including Mini, Small, Medium and Large.
| Blizzard Menu Item | Available Sizes | Description | Price |

The Royal New York Cheesecake Blizzard combines soft serve with real cheesecake pieces and graham, with a strawberry topping centre. The SNICKERS Blizzard Treat mixes DQ soft serve with SNICKERS candy pieces, bringing caramel, peanuts and nougat flavours, while the HEATH Blizzard Treat folds crunchy toffee and fudge flavours through the soft serve.

| Size | Availability |

| Mini | Available on many Blizzard flavors |
| Small | Available on many Blizzard flavors |

Exact availability can differ according to the specific Blizzard flavour and restaurant.
Sundaes and Frozen Treats
Sundaes are another major part of the menu. On the official Small Sundaes page, the toppings on offer right now include hot fudge, strawberry, chocolate, caramel, peanut butter and pineapple.
| Treat | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Small Sundae | DQ soft serve with choice of topping | Part of 2 for $5 Mix & Match |

The current official DQ page lists the Small Sundae as part of the 2 for $5 Mix & Match promotion. Menu items can vary by location, and applicable tax is additional.
Drinks and Beverages
The drinks side covers soft drinks, milk, shakes, malts and specialty frozen beverages. The official website currently lists an Any Size Soft Drink option, while the exact soft drink flavours can vary by restaurant.
| Beverage | Available Information | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Any Size Soft Drink | Size varies; flavors vary by store | Location-dependent |
| Milk | 1% low-fat milk | Location-dependent |
| DQ Coffee Cooler Oreo | Small, Medium, Large | Location-dependent |
| DQ Coffee Cooler Salted Caramel | Small, Medium, Large | Location-dependent |
| Vanilla Shake | Size varies | Location-dependent |
| Vanilla Malt | Size varies | Location-dependent |
Current DQ nutrition information identifies Oreo and Salted Caramel Coffee Coolers in small, medium and large sizes.
Coffee Coolers
The DQ Coffee Cooler Oreo combines coffee and Oreo-style flavours in a creamy frozen beverage; the DQ Coffee Cooler Salted Caramel is the caramel-focused alternative. Both are listed in small, medium and large sizes in the current nutrition information.
Cakes and Party Treats
Dairy Queen also sells cakes and frozen desserts for birthdays, celebrations and other occasions, and the official website maintains a dedicated cakes section within its broader menu.
Cake designs, sizes, flavours and prices can vary substantially by location, so check the specific DQ restaurant before ordering.
Kids and Family Options
The official menu includes a Kids category, although the exact products and availability can depend on the individual restaurant — and DQ's website explains that products and menus may vary by location.
For families, combination meals and chicken baskets can make a more complete meal, while smaller frozen treats and sundaes work as dessert or snack options.
Popular DQ Choices
Several categories stand out when you look through the current selection:
- Chicken Strip Basket: a complete chicken meal with strips, fries, Texas toast and dipping sauce.
- Original Cheeseburger: a classic beef-and-cheese option with pickles, ketchup and mustard.
- Signature Stackburgers: available in several combinations and patty configurations.
- Blizzard Treats: frozen desserts in multiple sizes and flavours.
- Sundaes: a simpler soft-serve dessert with different topping choices.
That list simply reflects how the menu is grouped; it is not a popularity leaderboard, and what sells best can differ from one restaurant or region to another.
Prices and Availability: What to Expect
Check prices at the specific restaurant before ordering. As Dairy Queen itself explains on its official website, what is served differs from place to place, and some products simply are not carried by every store.
That's why this guide only gives exact prices where an official current DQ source explicitly provides them. For many individual burgers, chicken baskets, Blizzard Treats and beverages, the official product pages currently direct you to select a local store rather than displaying a universal price — which matters when you're searching for prices, because two locations can differ on pricing, promotions and availability.
Nutrition and Allergy Information
Nutrition and allergen details are published for DQ's food and treats, and on the official site you can filter the menu by allergens including milk, wheat, soy, egg, peanuts, fish, shellfish and tree nuts.
If you have allergies, check the current information and speak directly with the restaurant: DQ warns that ingredients can come into contact with allergens during preparation and that it cannot guarantee an item is allergen-free.
How to Order
You can use the DQ website or mobile app to find participating restaurants and place orders where online ordering is available. Each restaurant sets its own product range, prices and operating details — so for the most accurate "DQ near me" information, selecting the specific restaurant matters, because local menus and prices can differ.
Final Thoughts
DQ's menu is a broad mix of complete meals and frozen desserts: chicken baskets, Stackburgers, cheeseburgers, Blizzard Treats, sundaes, beverages and cakes make up the main selections. Prices are not universally identical because individual locations run their own pricing, promotions and availability, so checking your local DQ before ordering is the best way to confirm the current cost of each item.
If you're comparing items, the chicken baskets provide the substantial meal options, the Stackburgers cover the burger side of the menu, and the Blizzard Treats and sundaes deliver the signature frozen-dessert choices associated with Dairy Queen.
